[DeadSheepStudios]

Username: DeadSheepStudios
Cat Name: Maltstar
Clan: Everrock
Rank: Leader
Gender: Male
Age: 57 Moons
Prompt:

The old tom cat would pace around his den, searching under every little leaf and rock that had managed to get its way in there. He pushed away little bugs and the remains of his breakfast.

"ohh where is it WHERE IS IT??" The anxious leader would dash his eyes from corner to corner, hoping to see that familiar fuzzball he saw many moons ago. Leaping around the room, worrying if it was accidentally buried. "Oh dear did I eat it already??"

Maltstar put his nose to the ground and inhaled as hard as he could, picking up dust from the cave. While in a coughing fit, his deputy, Copperdance, finds him in distress.

"Maltstar!!" She cried out, rushing over to help him, and after clearing his sinuses of debris, he started tearing up. "What's wrong?"

"I-I...," he took a deep breath in but start to bawl, "I CANT FIND THE SQUIRREL TAIL!!!"

"wh-whaat?" Copperdance would tilt her head at him, "Why would you need a squirrel tail?" Maltstar looked deep into the she-cat's eyes and was disappointed.

"THE KITS!! Doepaw and Buckpaw will be named today AND I SAVED THEIR PREY FROM THEIR FIRST HUNT!!! It was a squirrel tail and they were so proud!!" The old tom started to weep, "OH I HAVE FAILED THEM!! I PROMISED TO KEEP THEIR SQUIRREL TAIL FOREVER BUT I LOST IT IM A FAILUR--"

Copperdance was caught off guard by this sudden stop of emotion. She saw Maltstar cock his head to look around her, and with stars in his eyes, he dashed over to the bed of leaves in the corner of his den. He picked up in his jaws a flimsy little squirrel tail and sat with pride. "Oh, Copper... what are you doing, sitting around in here? Come now, we have a ceremony to prepare!" And with that, he trotted away into the clearing, shouting at the very confused shecat that was still frozen in his den, "Hurry up, grandma, you mustnt give up on those old bones yet!" (Copperdance is very young, if I might add.)

Prompt:
"WHERE IS MY DOVE PERCH?!"
Timber's cry woke up every cat nearby.
"What is she yowling about now?" Thorn grumbled in his nest. Robin leaned over and licked his nose to calm him.
Owl, being the nice cat he is, climbed out of his nest and stumbled out to meet Timber.
"What is it?"
"I've lost it!" she cried, looking around frantically.
"Lost what?"
"My perch, you bumblebee!" Timber snapped at him. She had a very odd way of speaking, and her insulting name was 'bumblebee', unlike the way that the native cats said 'traitor of us'.
"Your... what?" Owl was confused now, tipping his head to the side.
She whipped him with her tail as she sped off into the woods, yelling "The perch! The perch!" as she went. Owl chased after her until he caught up. As she skidded to a halt, he ran into her with a yelp.
But she payed him no mind, and as he padded up to her to face her, he saw that she was crying. Owl drooped his tail over her shoulders.
"The perch that.. that my mother gave me," Timber mumbled in between sobs. "Before she died."
He let out a sigh. "I'm sure you'll find it-"
"No, you aren't!" she wailed. "You're not sure! It'll be lost forever!"
She collapsed into him, crying still. They sat there together as the sun set over the trees, casting a glow upon her face.
Wiping her tears away, Owl gazed into her eyes. "We will find it. I promise you."

Cat Name: Russetbark
Clan: CascadeClan
Rank: Torpedo
Gender: male
Age: 31 moons
Prompt:

Russetbark's eyes were bright with excitement as he bowed to his clanmates from atop the Stormrock. The young caliby had recently completed his torpedo training and had just received his warrior name. He couldn't be any more ecstatic for himself.

His friends called out their praises and his mentor was grinning from eye to eye. Even the leader had a soft smile stretching on his maw.

There was one thing, however, that was missing. A border patrol had been sent out during the sun's zenith and they had yet to return. Russetbark's father was one of the cats who had been sent out. The young tom had begged for the ceremony to be postponed, but when the patrol still hadn't reported back by dusk, the leader had no choice but to perform the ceremony regardless.

And then Russetbark's world came crashing down.

"Make way; call the healers!" Rootclaw yowled as he dashed into camp, interrupting the meeting. Cats gasped and shuffled, backing up so that Nightcricket, the lead healer, could take a good look at the blood-cloaked mess of a feline.

From his vantage point, Russetbark forgot to breath for a moment. "Father!" he cried, scrambling of off the Stormrock and pushing through the crowd.

Hawkblaze's breathing was laboured and Nightcricket shook his head at the warrior's mangled appearance. "Nothing I can do, now, Russetbark. He'll be gone soon... actually, he already..."

"But... Father," Russetbark whispered, lying down and pressing his nose against the tom. He closed his eyes, intent of staying there until all the warmth left the body. "Father..." the newest warrior choked out. What a way to celebrate his promotion.

From now on, there would be no cat to scold him and nag him about the state of his fur. No cat to offer him prey when he felt down. And Russetbark whimpered.

The caliby knew that he was destined to miss his father forever. Hawkblaze had only been gone for a few seconds, but the chasm in Russetbark's heart was already there.
